ASUS Control Center
ASUS Control Center is a one-stop IT management suite that provides comprehensive control via a friendly user interface. It is designed to provide the best IT management experience across all ASUS enterprise and commercial products. Each ASUS CSM product entitles the customer to the Classic edition of the ASUS Control Center. ASUS Control Center helps businesses monitor system temperatures, fan, voltage and hardware status; and allows remote desktop management, including access to power controls, BIOS settings and updates, and security features such as enabling or disabling access to USB storage devices. It also helps with asset management, including software dispatch and device-metadata management.
Supply flexibility
ASUS has great supply flexibility to respond rapidly to forecast changes, ensuring that customers need not worry about material-supply gaps or extended supply, even when projects require a supply guarantee of 36 months. ASUS also issues an engineering change notice (ECN) before product revisions, an end-of-life (EOL) notice six months prior to a product’s EOL, as well as a last buy order (LBO) three months prior to EOL. This gives customers sufficient lead time to ready themselves for product transitions.
